Celtic Knot Class

After two separate days of classes at Mad Bs the Celtic Knot Quilt class has been completed. Three women took the class, each quilt will be awesome when completed.

This quilt is quite easy to make as only two different shapes of blocks are required. There are the nine patch blocks and the connector blocks.  Of course there are variations in those two blocks depending on the colours of fabric and knot work pattern you design. 

The biggest skill when making this quilt is to ensure accurate 1/4 inch seams. The tricky part is when you put the blocks together; the connector block that has the diagonal strip must line up with the nine patches that have the horizontal/vertical strip. This sometimes can be very challenging, because even if you have accurate seam allowances the diagonals tend to stretch. 

This quilt design is tons of fun. I love it because you can design your own knot work patterns once you are familiar with the design process. I love creative quilting!!
